1. How does Toto come to grandfather’s private zoo?
Answer:
Toto comes to grandfather’s private zoo when he buys him from a tonga-driver for a sum of five rupees. The tonga- driver used to keep the little red monkey. He was tied to a feeding-trough. The monkey looked so out of place there that Grandfather bought him and decided to keep him in his private zoo.

3. Why does grandfather take Toto to Saharanpur and how? Why does the ticket collector insist on calling Toto a dog?
Answer:
Toto was kept in a big cage where a number of Grandfather’s pets lived very sociably together. But Toto was a mischievous monkey. He wouldn’t allow any of his companions to sleep at night. So, grandfather decided to take Toto to Saharanpur to provide some relief to other animals in the zoo.
Toto was kept in a canvas bag that was too strong for Toto to bite and he could not get his hands out through the opening in the bag. When Toto poked its head out of the bag at Saharanpur station, the ticket collector was taken aback on seeing the monkey’s face peeping out of the bag. He called Toto a dog and asked grandfather to pay for its travel. Perhaps, he called Toto a dog as the monkey was a four-legged animal who did not qualify the category of human beings. Even after repeated explanations by grandfather, the ticket collector charged him for the monkey by calling it a dog.

4. How does Toto take a bath? Where has he learnt to do this? How does Toto almost boil himself alive?
Answer:
Toto used to take a bath like a man. He cunningly tested the temperature with his hand then gradually stepped into the bath. He stepped first one foot, then the other, until he was into the water up to his neck. Then he rubbed himself all over with the soap.
